Other changes and possibly some mm!ificd
ton of these will also be made, but they

rates being all that the business will
bear. Where the prerent rat.
is one dollar OF day and
seventy-iive cents for night, the new da.,
rate is to he seventy.ive cents. The night
rate will be the same as the day rate. /
other cases where the seventy five cent rat,
becomes sixty, it has bsn decided to hoI'
the fifty cent night rate and not le. it IA
forty cents, as it would il tariff boo
we're adhered TO. In like manner
wh-re the present rates OF sixty cents al,
reduced to fifty the existing night rate &
forty cents will be retained.
